Generating in-text citations

To generate in-text citations, highlight any section of text and click the Cite button to open our Citation Manager.

Note: You can also use the "@" keyboard shortcut to open our Citation Manager.

See the image below of how our citation manager works:

Green Box: To search and find new relevant sources, you can add additional keywords to our search box. Try to be as specific as possible for the best results.

Red Box: In our Citation Manager, you will be given the option to choose from relevant sources from the web or your Library.

Blue Box: Filter for sources by exact publish year, relevance, and recency.

Purple Box: Easily add a citation into your paper or review the source in a new tab for more context

You can also create custom citations where you can paste DOI/PMID URLs to auto-populate the information.

Note: When you add a citation in Jenni, it will automatically create a reference list at the bottom of your Jenni document


Citation styles

Currently, Jenni offers the following citation styles:

  • APA 7

  • MLA 9

  • Harvard

  • IEEE

  • Chicago

If you require a different citation style, please let us know at support@jenni.ai and we will try to add it as soon as possible!

You can adjust your citation style in Document Settings or in your Reference List at the bottom of your Jenni document.


Where are citations coming from?

Jenni offers two options on where your suggestions and citations are coming from:

  • Auto-cite from New Sources: This will enable Jenni to consider external online sources that are relevant to your topic.

  • Auto-cite from Library: This will enable Jenni to consider the sources and documents uploaded into your Jenni Library

To turn toggle these options based on your research needs, see Document Settings
